Rockmills Lodge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached five-bay two-storey country house, built 1776. faces north and has two full-height bows to rear, south, elevation and with Ventian-style arrangement to middle bay of front elevation. House was burned during the Troubles of the 1920s and rebuilt. Lower three-bay two-storey addition to east. Steeply-hipped slate roof. Paired chimneystacks to ridge and heavy stack to addition. Rendered walls. Square-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed entrance doorway with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash sidelights, latter having cornices linked to triangular hood-moulding over doorway. Courtyard of outbuildings to south-east, now in use as stables, and accessed through archway. Walled orchard accessed through doorway in courtyard.

A Venetian-style arrangement of openings to the middle bay of its façade makes this house distinctive. Its history reflects that of the nascent Irish state, the house having been rebuilt after being burned during the Troubles of the early 1920s. The accompanying outbuildings and the fine setting, overlooking the River Fuinshion, enhance the building.
